That's the point I'm trying to argue against. I know plenty of poor people with mindsets of abudance. They simply don't have the resources to push forward. And if it were a matter of mindset, famines would not occur, as you would be hard-pressed to prove that everyone simply gave up on their life, believing there was nothing they could do to solve their impending death. I would believe instead that many people in famines believed that they could find a solution, but did not. True, there would be hopeless people, but taking only those into account would be a terrible fallacy.
